Teddy and his staff are wonderful. They highly prioritize you above everything else. They are very attentive to your requests and help accommodate whatever they can within their means.
The food is outstanding. I ate delicious for a week.

No complaints for the price, cheapest spot on the whole island. You get what you pay for. If you're travelling on a budget and don't have high expectations, this place is a great option. The cafe next door was closed during my whole stay, but that might be due to the time of the year. Plenty of places with food and drinks within walking distance though, plus Sumur Tiga beach.
